Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release. Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid. The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported. Officers then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood. These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols. Officials say early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid. "At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated. Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips. A senior representative said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly. "This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
